Thanks to all who have jumped and those that continue. Airborne!

National Air Borne Day,, A dedication
To Col Norman Gray (RIP) and my fellow snake eaters of the 20th Special Forces FLNG, who earned their Caterpillar Club membership on a jump in Jacksonville, Florida from a rickety C-119, on July 16th 1966
I was fortunate to have served with almost all of the survivers.
